This hotel was a good deal for the cost. Location was great only bad thing is the parking lot is smaller but they do have extra parking around back. This place was one of my favorite places, cute, close to the beach and convenient.

Clean, nicely renovated room. Easy to park, SUPER walkable! A bit of street noise but quieted off after quiet hours. Would stay again!

Recently updated, super cute, modern beach theme! And they had REAL keys, which was a fun quirk! Fridge and microwave in the room, AC worked great, large walk in shower! Only thing that would have been nice is blackout curtains…the outside lights and the early morning sun were BRIGHT!

We had a wonderful time here in this charming, small hotel. Quiet with free parking and wifi and a quick walk down a short hill to the beach.

Great location and very nice view. Staff were all great, friendly, helpful. Very clean. Recently updated. Will definitely stay again. The only thing was I wish the in room coffee was maintained better. Great coffee in the lobby though.

I’ve stayed at the Seaway Inn off and on for more than 30 years. It’s a beautiful, updated smaller property that is near the Santa Cruz Pier and Boardwalk. It’s had different owners over the years and has been updated. The beds, and pillows are very comfortable. The rooms are spacious, and very quiet. You don’t really hear the street noise but can hear the waves from the ocean. Our king room offered a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee. The staff are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Thank you for another wonderful visit.
